Ready

I am finally done with both shawls and ready for the next clue in MS3. It should be exciting to see where it goes from here and Melanie is giving up the theme tomorrow too. Big day in mystery knitting.

I also did some dyeing today. I bought a cone of zephyr, crazy I know but the price was so good how could I pass it up. I have decided after the MS3's are done I want to do the Bee Fields stole(when it comes out) and Hanami. I plan to knit it just like the original as I like that both ends are different. Here is what I plan to knit it with.
Zephyr - Dyed for Hanami
I think it should be great in this color. Lots of shades of pink since it is supposed to be based on cherry blossoms on the one end. I am happy that my yarn dyeing is getting better but don't ask me to repeat anything since it is just a free for all. In fact I wasn't sure this was going to be okay until I re-skeined it and that made all the difference on this skein.

Lovely pink -- I am dying to knit Hanami. I love how she melded the two stitch patterns into the one stole. I can't wait for the theme to be revealed! I have some decisions to make on my MS3.

Beautiful shades of pink!
Just this morning, I checked out what Hanami looked like on Melanie's blog after seeing it mentioned on the MS3. It's stunning! Oh, I might have to knit it, too. ;)

I love all the shades of pink in that! Can't wait to see it all knit up.

Wow!!! Done with BOTH shawls??? You are the Wonder Woman of Lace! I can't wait to see both of them. I actually just, just finished my mom's black lace stole. Whew!

That pink laceweight is unbelievable...wish I could touch it. And, I agree, reskeining is always better.

Both the Hanami and Bee Fields are on my list of shawls "TO DO", as well as the Spiral one from Cheryl Potter of Cherry Tree Hill yarns. Love that one, too. Too many shawls, not enough time....!!!
